Guest Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 if its had one previously then should be easy, but what is the bike? and why was it removed.is it cable operated? is the cable there? have you a dial/clock for it? Quote
DaddyG Posted March 17, 2010 Author Posted March 17, 2010 sorry i should of left more information..Its a honda hornet thats been street fightered, It has this speedo..http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ ... =BIKMSPMPHand im going to buy the following matching rev counter..http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ ... e=BIKTAC01Also, whilst im here saving me making a new thread it also has had its indicators removed, Im thinking of getting the bar end indicators, are these easy to install?Cheers Quote
Guest Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 If its cable operated then you just plug in both ends of the cabel, if its electric, then you may be better off with Original clocks.Bar end indicators, seen them never fitted them, 2 reasons:one, the cabling has to go through the bars, which requiers drilling for exit holes, which is a PITA.two, there the first things to break on impact with shed door, gate, wall, and the ground.have seen them fitted well to radiator guards or a bracket (same area) Quote
Guest Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Lol, the Hornet is a streetfighter isn't it?no... misconception, Streetfighters are bikes born from parts normally because the donor bike is an insurance Cat write off, manufacturers have jumped on this wagon with branding, but a fightered GSXR is not the same as a hornet from the factory..it seems nowadays that taking off a fairing and adding some tacky bling and a cheap headlight fairing makes a bike a "fighter".. it doesn't it just looks cheap. see the 02 Corsa's at a McDonalds near you, same style (ohh and O2 = Bolts ons) Quote
DaddyG Posted March 17, 2010 Author Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Im sure its cable, Thank you for the information.Ahh i might give them bar indicators a miss then, Looks like is going to have to be some sort of bracket job i think..My hornets are proper street fighter, heres the list of mods..Stock engine,Stock frame modified at rear to take 09 Zx6r race seat unit,07 GSXR600 Front forks 07 GSXR600 yokes07 GSXR750 Steering damper07 GSXR750 front wheel and discs07 Yamaha R6 front calipersHEL braided linesSES race rear setsStock rear wheelStock swingarmKtm HeadlightK&N air filter07 GSXR750 Arrow end can (Noisey!)BSB tyresFrame and Swingarm all powdercoatedRental barsSoz for the rubbish pic but thats all ive got on the work pc!
